Q9: Why do I found no sound effects when playing 96K or 192KHz sound

sources.

Answer:

Currently Xonar DS effects including DTS support common 44.1K, 48KHz sound

sources processing and will assure high-definition audio (96K/192KHz) in hi-fidelity

playback. This is also usually the behavior that professional audiophiles and

musicians prefer.
If you still want to have the effects, you can use some editing software (Ableton

Live, Cakewalk, CoolEdit, Soundforge, etc.) to convert the sounds into 48KHz files.

Please note that the frequency meter on Xonar DS Audio Center panel will not take

effect either when the playback source is 96KHz or 192KHz sample rate to prevent

any processing distortion.
